Repaint done, this time using Mr. Hobby's old reliable H417. Now I can sleep at night. Kev

Howdy folks, I've just published this week's What's New update. Enjoy!

I'm going to assume yes, as there's no way I can get my HK Meteor in my Detolf cabinet! And I've just learned that they were discontinued in January of 2024, after being in the Ikea catalogue for decades. Kev

Started the rest of the paint job on the Fw 190S with MRP RLM76, but it turns out theirs is the late-war Sky-green variation, which I personally don't think is appropriate at all for this particular aircraft. Initially I was just going to leave it and move on, but I'm all out of any variation of RLM74, so I'll have time to repaint this while I wait for new paints to arrive. What do the experts think? Kev

Are the Rudsta cabinets more capacious than the old Detolf ones, Max? Kev

Terrific work so far, Tom! A shame the other build didn't come to fruition. Kev

That looks great, Tolga! Kev

Wow, that does look good! Kev

Excellent build, Artur! I've taken the liberty of fixing all of your image links, so that people can enjoy your model properly. I've also made it the subject of this week's banner image on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/largescaleplanes Kev

Excellent work with the masking and painting! Kev

It lives! Welcome back, Craig. Great to see an update on this one again. It looks amazing! Kev

Fantastic work, Mal! Kev

Acrylic lacquer, like MRP. Kev

After multiple rounds of priming and refining, I've finally been able to move on to the painting stage. SMS RLM04 for the win! Kev

v1.3 is now available! https://www.klp.com.au/product/a-modellers-guide-to-the-ju-88-g-6-night-fighter/ This is an extension of the v1.2 update, where an incorrect Werknummer had been corrected, but it seems we missed a few. D’oh! This has been addressed in v1.3. And of course, this title is still on sale for just 35 Australian dollars! If you’ve already downloaded both files of the v1.2 update, then you only need the main book file for v1.3. Otherwise, you should update both the main book file and the artwork file. Kev

Very exacting work, Mal! Kev

Very nicely done! Kev

Indeed it does, and it was one of the cornerstone reasons for choosing to go digital-only. Kev

I've contacted Les on your behalf, and I'm sure he'll be along shortly to reply directly. Kev

John has just informed me about a few other errors that we missed, so there'll be a v1.3 update shortly! Kev

Much to my own dismay, I ended up sawing the canopy off again, as it was sitting crookedly at the front. It turns out that the canopy fit issues weren't entirely my fault, as a flush fit at the rear creates a slightly skewed fit at the front. I did my best to average it out, so now it doesn't fit anywhere properly. You can see the evidence for that around the windscreen, revealed so bluntly by the primer, so I've still got some remedial work to do yet. This build (much like most of mine these days) has officially entered the "just get it done" phase. Kev

955, good sir. Kev

I forgot to add in my original post that both the main book file and the artwork file have been updated, so it's important to download both of those! Kev

I’m pleased to announced that A Modeller’s Guide to the Ju 88 G-6 Night Fighter has just been updated to v1.2! There are some very important corrections in this update, along with a new page containing an additional photo, and so is considered a vital update for all previous purchasers of the book. For the next 7 days, it’s also available for just 35 Australian dollars, so if you don’t already have this one, now is the perfect time to fix that! EDIT: I forgot to add in my original post that both the main book file and the artwork file have been updated, so it's important to download both of those! This update is free for all existing purchasers. And of course, new purchasers will always receive the latest version of any of our books. You can check the version number of your previously-purchased copy at the bottom of the Copyright page (iii), or on the front cover to the right of the author’s name. In order to obtain your free update, simply re-download the book using either the original download link in your Order Confirmation email, or log in to your KLP account and download it from the Downloads section of your profile. If you don’t have either, please contact me and we’ll sort it out. Kev

Wow, that looks awesome! Kev
